Is financial aid available for summer courses? What payment options are available?

If you’re a continuing student with money remaining in your Pell Grant award, you can apply this toward your summer courses. Payment is expected at time of registration. There is no financial aid or payment plans available for summer credit courses; however, some non-credit courses like Certified Nurse Aide (CNA), Patient Care Technician, and Medical Coding at Billing do have financial aid through WIA Funds- you may contact CT Works @ 203-238-3688 to inquire.

Where do I get a printout of my schedule?

Once you pay for your courses, you’ll either be given directions on how to print out your schedule, or if paying at the Middletown campus, the Business Office will give you one with your receipt.

Where do I get my photo ID?

On the Main campus in Middletown, your ID is issued by the Communication staff (center right next to the Admissions and Registrar’s office), and at the Meriden Center, the security guard, located at the front entrance, will help you with your ID card. So, once you have registered and made payment, head on over to get your student ID. Your ID is used to gain access to some buildings and for free summer giveaways such as the summer ice cream truck treats and valuable discounts to theaters, summer trips, and gym memberships.

Will my course credits transfer to my university of four-year College?

Most courses at MxCC transfer smoothly to universities and four-year colleges, but it is always a good idea to work with your academic counselor at your college to make sure before you take the course.
